When I walked into the house, I saw my mother holding Yan Jin's hand, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, as if checking the household registration.

"Xiaobao, go get some tea, don't snub Xiao Jin. Before he sat down, Xiao Bao Niang instructed Xiao Bao, and he said yes.

Go to the kitchen, take out the boiling hot water, take out the teacup, put the tea leaves, go through the water, make the tea, and take it to the house.

took the tea, put it on the table of Niang and Xiaojin, and sat aside to listen to them quietly. The strange thing is that Xiao Jin, who is so withdrawn and has few words, actually answers all questions to her mother. Xiaobao also has a general understanding of Xiao Jin, who lives in Shifang City, and Yan Jin is actually from the city!

Seeing that his mother was talking, Xiaobao hurriedly said, "Mother, we still have to go out." Grumbled.

"Where to go, you know how to run around all day long. Xiao Bao Niang blamed.

"Auntie, Xiaobao wants to show me around the neighborhood. Yan Jin opened his mouth to defend Xiaobao.

"Yes, then let's go, come to the house for dinner in the evening!" When my mother heard Yan Jin speak, she laughed and urged us to go out.

The mother has changed, Xiaobao is even a little jealous, how can she be so good to Yan Jin.

My mother sent us out of the house, and repeatedly told Yan Jin that she was going to come over for dinner in the evening.

Finally left my mother's sight, and I don't have to be so restrained.

Xiaobao said to Yan Jin on the side, "Let's go, take you to a good place." ”

"Where are you going?" Yan Jin looked at Xiaobao with a frown.

Xiao Bao took him, walked to the path, and ran out of the village.

"Beautiful!" Xiaobao stood on the cliff with open arms, looking at the green valley.

Yan Jin didn't respond to Xiaobao, but his relaxed expression already explained the answer.

"I haven't been here in a long time. Xiaobao sat on the ground with his eyes closed, breathing deep in the fresh air.

"Why?" he sat beside me, not thinking, he must have asked with a blank face.

"You look at the desert, and I don't know martial arts. I'm here with my best friend, and so are you. I looked at him and grinned.

"Friend?" Yan Jin muttered quietly, turning his head to look at Huang Zhijun, who was laughing heartlessly beside him.

Yan Jin rarely showed a smile, he was so handsome, "If you want to come in the future, I will accompany you." ”

Xiaobao was shocked by Yan Jin's smile and looked at him blankly.

"What, don't you want to take me?" Yan Jin looked at Xiaobao who didn't respond to his words with a cold face.

Xiaobao reacted, "How come, it's too late for me to be happy, let's come together in the future, and I will introduce my good friend to you." ”

"Hmm. Yan Jin responded softly.

Dark clouds covered the sky, obscured the sun and the moon, and cold winds howled.

"Let's go, it's getting dark. Xiaobao got up and patted the dust off his body.

They walked down the hill together, passing by the stream, and Xiaobao's eyes lit up.

"Huh. Xiaobao squatted by the stream and beckoned Yan Jin to come over.

"Do you know what this is?" he asked Yan Jin, looking at the plants in front of him.

Yan Jin walked in and looked, "Sichuan pepper." Said calmly.

"Pepper?" "What, I thought it was a very special plant, so why didn't she tell me the last time I sent my mother?"

Just thinking about it, Yan Jin spoke again, "Do you know the characteristics of Sichuan pepper?"

Xiaobao turned his head to look at him suspiciously, "What characteristic?" Yan Jin walked forward slowly, and he hurriedly followed Yan Jin's footsteps.

"Many seeds, pepper is a seasoning, can also be used as a love thing for men and women, men give women peppercorns, is a very straightforward confession, meaning that I want to have a lot of children with her. After listening to Yan Jin's explanation, Xiaobao stopped, stayed in place, and recalled the situation that day in his mind.

"Why don't you leave?" Yan Jin turned his head in front of him and looked at Xiaobao who was stunned and didn't move.

Xiaobao was afraid that he would see through his thoughts, "Ah... Let's go. How not to go. "Speed up the pace and surpass Yan Jin.

As he walked, his face slowly turned red.

"Why are your ears so red?" Yan Jin's puzzled voice came from behind him.

Yan Jin's words surprised Xiaobao, he didn't want people to find out, so he put aside the topic and said, "Ah, is it, it's too cold." Let's go home and eat. "I ran home from a change of walking.

Cold?" Yan Jin scratched his head suspiciously, "I don't think so." ”

"Mother, we're back. Xiaobao shouted into the room.

Xiao Baoniang walked out of the kitchen and beckoned to them, "Come and wash your hands, you can start eating." ”

After washing his hands in the yard, he followed Yan Jin to the house. Seeing Dad sitting at the table, he shouted, "Daddy." The words just fell.

Yan Jin spoke, "Ling Zun, come to disturb." ”

"Good. All good. Let's sit down and eat, don't be restrained, just call uncle. Little Daddy beckoned to them.

Sit down and look at a large table of dishes that are full of color and aroma.

Xiaobao had a great appetite and took the chopsticks to his favorite braised pork clip.

Bang, the chopsticks were opened, and when I looked up, I saw Xiaobao's mother staring at Xiaobao, "There are no rules, sit down." Xiao Bao Niang scolded him fiercely.

said to Yan Jin gently, "Xiao Jin, why are you stunned, try Aunt A's craftsmanship." Don't mind, it's all home-cooked. ”

Yan Jin said repeatedly, "No, no, look at Xiaobao is also hungry, didn't you say don't see outside, use chopsticks." ”

Hearing Yan Jin's words, I couldn't help but want to pick up the vegetables again, but I still subconsciously looked at my mother, and I was relieved to see her nodding.

As soon as Yan Jin took the vegetables into the mouth, her mother couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, Xiao Jin, is it to your liking?"

"Well, auntie, it's delicious. Yan Jin praised.

When Xiao Baoniang heard this, she smiled on her face and said, "Eat more if it's delicious." ”

Mother is also too good to Yan Jin, Xiaobao couldn't help but look at Yan Jin beside her with jealousy.

After eating, Yan Jin was about to say goodbye, and I sent him away until the figure disappeared from my sight.

In the next time, only Yan Jin accompanied Xiaobao, and Da Zhuang was able to come back from the county to accompany him during the Chinese New Year.

The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, the four seasons alternate, and time only relieves people to grow old.

16-year-old Xiaobao walked through the streets, with a light rain floating in the air.

The young cheeks have become slightly resolute, the eyes are bright, and the eyebrows are thick like black ink.

One leaned in front of the stall in front of him, looking at him.

Xiaobao's eyes flashed with joy, and he said, "Didn't you say that you don't need to be accompanied, you can sleep well on a rare holiday?"

"I'm not worried, so I'm going home to have a look. Yan Jin's voice was as cold as ever, but his words revealed concern.

Xiaobao looked at him, "Let's go, wait and there is still time to walk around." ”

"I forgot how long it had been since I breathed the air outside the house. A beautiful woman stepped out of the threshold and sighed. The old woman beside her followed her, holding an umbrella.

"Look, this handsome woman is my mother. The little girl of Liufu. The whispering voice of a man on the street came.

The old woman beside her couldn't help frowning slightly.

"It's a bustling street. The girl's eyes were full of novelty, and she lost her manners. The old woman next to her coughed lightly, and the young lady stuck out her tongue and retracted.

The crowd on the street was surging, and the girl's pupils dilated, staring ahead. "It's him!"

Five years ago, the family moved into the county office. Xiaobao was depressed all day long, as if he had lost his soul.

But people will always come out of the haze, but fortunately, they are accompanied by Yan Jin.

My father stopped going to the fields at that time and began to learn to do business. With the money, I also had to come to the county to go to the official school (a school founded by the government), so that Xiaobao could go to school conveniently, I bought a house and moved my family here. After becoming good brothers with Yan Jin, they basically followed Xiaobao and protected him. Yan Jin's grandmother died, and he didn't want to stay in the township, so he came to the county government to accompany Xiaobao. I'm very happy to be in the same place with my mother and my brother with me again.

and Yan Jin have also become inseparable good brothers, although he still often has a cold face and doesn't talk much.

Dad's business is getting bigger and bigger, and now more than half of the people in the county wear clothes made of cloth sold by Xiaobao's family.

The days are thriving, tomorrow will get better and better, and today is Xiaobao going to the city to participate in the "township examination".

Xiaobao's cultivation is now at the peak of his martial arts, and he is ashamed to say that it was three years ago.

The sun was scorching, and I was reclining on a stone chair under the trees.

Boredom looked at Yan Jin, who was sweating in front of him, and he was playing an unknown boxing technique. The tiger was vigorous, and the energy hit the air and crackled. Xiaobao was so envious, and sat up straight and looked at Yan Jin. After he finished a set of punches, he walked towards Xiaobao, Xiaobao hurriedly threw the towel beside him to Yan Jin, he took it and sat next to Xiaobao, wiping the sweat stains on his body.

When Yan Jin rests and prepares to practice boxing again. Xiaobao hurriedly grabbed him, "Yan Jin, I want to learn martial arts." Xiaobao said solemnly.

Yan Jin looked at Xiaobao in shock, "Seriously?" said in a deep voice.

"Hmm. Xiaobao nodded heavily.

Yan Jin stood in front of Xiao Bao and said, "I will gather the aura of heaven and earth now around me, and you can try to sense it." ”

(No matter what I want, or what I want to do, as long as Yan Jin knows, he will do his best to help me do it, or get it.) ）

Xiaobao closed his eyes and felt the surroundings with his heart.

In the afternoon, Yan Jin didn't even punch, and thought of various ways to help Xiaobao enter the martial arts.

One day fruitless, two days fruitless. It's been three days, and Xiaobao still can't feel anything.

Could it be that I am destined to be a heavenly relic in this life? I can't help but feel lost.

On the fourth day, Xiaobao went to the banyan tree again, and Yan Jin was rarely late. Xiaobao thought in his heart, it seems that I am really a person who has been abandoned by God, and I am destined to have no chance with martial arts. When Yan Jin came, he told him no. I can't let Yan Jin waste time on me anymore, thinking firmly in his mind.

"Xiaobao!" Xiaobao heard the prestige, only to see Yan Jin flying towards him on the eaves. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if there was some happy event.

"What's the matter, so happy?" Xiaobao asked with a puzzled look at Yan Jin.

Yan Jin stretched out his hand, and there was a beautiful small box lying in his palm. He slowly opened the box, revealing a small, pitch-black pill.

"What is this?" Xiaobao looked up at Yan Jin with questions.

"Ahem, this little barrier-breaking pill is amazing, it can allow the fifth order of martial arts to directly step into the martial arts, and the peak of the martial arts can be directly promoted to the martial arts. Yan Jin's face was expressional, but the excited hands and joy in his eyes betrayed him.

"Come on, eat it. You can definitely practice martial arts, and maybe you can be directly promoted to the realm of martial apprentices. Yan Jin took the box and urged Xiaobao to take it quickly.

I looked at the little barrier-breaking pill in his hand, and I admit that my heart was moved.

Pushing Yan Jin's hand back, he refused, "Forget it, don't waste such a precious pill, you better keep it." ”

"Don't you want to practice? I always feel inferior, and now that I have the opportunity, I don't have to tell others that I am an abandoned person, and you refuse, I don't need these things at all?" Yan Jin yelled at Xiao Bao sadly, looking more excited than Xiao Bao.

Xiaobao was stunned by Yan Jin's sudden roar.

Seeing that Xiaobao didn't speak, Yan Jin said again, "Okay, if you don't want me, I'll throw him away." ”

He poured the elixir into his hand and was about to throw it out.

Xiaobao was anxious, "Wait." ”

He turned his head, "Are you willing to eat?" Yan Jin looked at with a cold face.

"Hmm. Xiaobao nodded in agreement. Yan Jin handed him the pill, Xiaobao held the pill and slowly put it in his mouth, and the pill melted in his mouth.

"What do you feel?" Yan Jin hurriedly asked.

Xiaobao closed his eyes and felt the surroundings, the air became heavy, and I felt like I was in the water, with a liquid feeling.

The surrounding liquid poured into my body, and my body greedily absorbed the nearby aura.

Bang! The tremendous force converged to the limbs, and the body became lighter and full of strength.

Xiaobao opened his eyes, hugged Yan Jin and cheered, "I can learn martial arts, I can learn martial arts." ”

Yan Jin's face was heavy, and he pondered, "It shouldn't be!"

"What shouldn't be?" Xiaobao looked at Yan Jin curiously.

Yan Jin looked at Xiaobao, "You try to use the exercises I taught you to operate the aura in your body." ”。 Xiao Bao followed Yan Jin's words, and after running a circle of exercises, the strength of his body increased a little more, but Yan Jin still shook his head.

"What's going on, this should have made you directly promoted to the realm of martial apprentices, how did you get to the peak of martial arts?" Yan Jin wondered.

"Oh, don't think about this, now you can practice martial arts, you can slowly improve. Xiaobao said excitedly.

"Well, I can't figure it out. He looked at Xiaobao and gave up his contemplation.

"I went to eat first, and suddenly my stomach was so hungry. Xiaobao pulled Yan Jin and walked home.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but be happy, the corners of my mouth raised, and Yan Jin next to me looked at me with a frown, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. Xiaobao hurriedly shook his head.

Raising his head to look ahead, Xiaobao's pupils widened, "It's her!"

The four eyes are facing each other, less than three feet apart. She has grown up and become more and more beautiful, sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and shy flowers.

He grew taller, stronger, and more handsome. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking heroic.

"Little..."As soon as the girl stretched out her hand and waved, before she could say anything, the old woman next to her pulled her clothes.

Put down your hands and walk forward calmly.

"Why..."Looking at the hands that the mother put down, the words stopped. Xiaobao didn't shout, and watched her walk forward.

Getting closer and closer, passing by, their eyes not taking off each other.

"See an acquaintance?". Yan Jin asked him expressionlessly, Xiaobao turned around and explained, "Childhood friend"

How did he turn around, are you unfamiliar with it, the mother turned her head sadly, a tear flowed from her eyes, and she crossed her cheek.

After explaining to Yan Jin, he turned his head again, and saw the back of his mother gradually drifting away, was it like a stranger?

"Why don't you say hello?" Yan Jin turned his head and watched the girl disappear into the crowd before asking.

"It's not good for other girls, let's go. Xiaobao's mood is obviously not very good, and his interest is not high.

I became quiet along the way, and Yan Jin was obviously a little unaccustomed. Turning his head to look at Xiaobao, "What, unhappy?"

"Nope. Xiaobao said with a smile.

Yan Jin's eyes suddenly shot towards the restaurant, and he saw Zhang's familiar and cold face staring, looking at each other with cold faces, and did not withdraw his gaze until he walked away.

Yan Jin didn't inform Xiaobao of this, walked to the parked coachman on the side, and said, "Old man, can you go to the city?"

The old man leaning on the carriage and grunting a hookah with a bamboo tube glanced at him. Exhaled the smoke and looked at the half-grown guy in front of him, "How many people?" asked without being salty.

"Two. Yan Jin frowned and replied coldly.

He held out a finger, "One tael of silver." ”

"Yes. With that, Yan Jin waved his hand at Xiaobao.

Xiaobao walked towards him, got into the carriage, and galloped out of the county.

We sat in the carriage face to face, Xiaobao felt very uncomfortable, and did not talk to Yan Jin, opened the curtain and looked at the receding spring light outside the window.

The carriage shook violently, and Yan Jin hurriedly helped Xiaobao steady. The car stopped, and Yan Jin shouted angrily at the driver, "What are you doing?"

"There's... Someone blocked the way. The old coachman said in trepidation.

Xiaobao and Yan Jin glanced at each other suspiciously, got out of the car together, and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw a group of people standing in front of them with swords, wearing gorgeous clothes, and they didn't look like mountain bandits who robbed houses.

"Yan Jin, Huang Zhijun, I've been waiting for you so hard. Behind the group stepped a teenager.

Xiaobao looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, and said, "Have you and I ever met?"

"Hahahaha, not only acquaintance, but also hatred. He sneered and looked at us with a grim expression.

This familiar look flashed through my mind, "Huang Bo!" said in a lost voice.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the old coachman on the other side was full of murderous intent, and quietly went backwards, not even wanting the carriage, and ran back without looking back.

"Oh, you still remember me, then I'm going to kill you today, and I'm going to kill you, senior brothers!" Huang Bo clasped his fists with both hands at the people behind him, drew his long sword, and shot straight at us. Yan Jin protected me behind her.

"You go first. Pulling out the soft sword tied to his waist, he jumped away, the soft sword wrapped around the long sword, the tip of the sword hit his palm, Huang Bo released his palm in pain, Yan Jin kicked him in the chest and made Huang Bo fly backwards.

The senior brother who followed him hurriedly supported him, "Poof," blood spurted out of Huang Bo's mouth.

"Senior brother. They shouted anxiously.

He raised his hand slightly trembling and pointed at Yan Jin in front of him, "Help me avenge." ”

They stabilized Huang Bo and surrounded Yan Jin.

"Beam Spirit Array. One of the slightly larger men shouted.

The four of them were around Yan Jin, and you took turns fighting Yan Jin back and forth. What surprised me was that their cultivation was definitely not as high as Yan Jin's, and they were able to fight Yan Jin for so long. And he is also full of energy, on the other hand, Yan Jin seems to be a little out of strength.

Xiaobao was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and his attention was on them. Without noticing beside him, a figure was silently approaching him.

Feeling the chill in his back, Xiaobao hurriedly squatted down. The sword was sticking to his hair, and a face was reflected in Xiaobao's eyes, "Huang Bo!"

He did not stop. Swinging the sword towards Xiaobao's neck, the sword was close to Xiaobao's neck, and Xiaobao's reaction was not slow, and he bowed his waist backwards. The sword was close to Xiaobao's eyes, and the tip of his nose even felt the coldness of the sword body.

"Die, you shit!" Huang Bo held his sword with a crazy smile on his face.

Xiao Baolai didn't rush to think about how Huang Bo got behind him. I relaxed and fell to the ground, watching Huang Bo stab at him with his sword, Xiaobao quickly rolled his body, rolled under the carriage, looked at the hole in the ground, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

Squeak, squeak~. The carriage was kicked away by Huang Bo, who stabbed Xiaobao in the head with a sword.
